FAQs

Sacred tīrthas that grant liberation must be protected; obstructing holy access is a grave adharma, and divine power intervenes to uphold dharma.

The Gomati–ocean confluence (Gomatī-udadhi-saṅgama) in the Dvārakā sacred geography, praised as vimukti-dam (liberation-giving).

No direct rite is stated, but the verse implies the sanctity and salvific power of visiting/bathing at the Gomati–ocean confluence.
